Re: does anybody know what these 2 coins are
The one on the left is a 'good for' trade token; not a coin.
The dates on the second "coin" represent the same period of time: 1960 based on the Gregorian calendar and 1380 based on the Islamic calendar are the same periods.
Here you go:
TUNISIA 1960 (1380 AH) TEN MILLIM COIN EDGED: REEDED METAL: BRASS

Your coin is 10X the denomination of this coin.
Here's one like yours: http://cgi.ebay.com/TUNISIA-1960-138...QQcmdZViewItem

Ivan:
I read the figure as 5 cents, not 50 cents, reasoning that during the time these tokens were prominent, 50 cents was much more than a loaf of bread would have cost; ergo, the figures is 5 cents--my guess.

Re: does anybody know what these 2 coins are
dang my old eyes that cents symbol looked like a 0 to me -- your right of course didn't have my time frame cost thinking hat on
but I still say bakery related what with loaf on it but most like 5 cents off on a loaf
